Lode Golem
The Lode Golem is a boss enemy in Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. It is encountered at the eastern edge of the Quarry, in Golem's Keep. It is a mandatory boss fight for Main Quest 8: Defeat the Lode Golem! and can be fought by the player in the same location thereafter.
Strategy
The Lode Golem attacks by approaching the player and attacking with its limbs. During this time it is invulnerable to all attacks. Its Shield Gauge can be chipped at with Garoo's attacks to a small degree.
Reduce the Lode Golem's Shield Gauge by waiting for its attack where it fires it limbs as projectiles. Attack the limbs with Garoo to ricochet them back at the Lode Golem. This will reduce the Shield Gauge greatly. The Lode Golem will occasionally cause rocks to fall from the ceiling. These can also be reflected at it with Garoo's attack. When the Shield Gauge is reduced to zero, the Lode Golem's weak point will be revealed. Attack this repeatedly to reduce its HP to zero.
Defeating the Lode Golem for the first time earns the player a Raw Lens and unlocks the achievement 'Magical Mineral Golem'.
Subsequent Battles
The Lode Golem cannot be refought until Main Quest 11: On the Other Side..., where it will be fought again at level 10, just as in its original encounter. Once the player reaches Main Quest 12: Bandit Busting, the Lode Golem will gain 10 levels, being fought at level 20. At Main Quest 29: After the Truth!, the Lode Golem will gain another 10 levels, being fought at level 30.
On Hard Mode, the Lode Golem will be fought at level 55. Defeating this version of the Lode Golem unlocks the achievement 'Champion of the Quarry'.
Trivia
- In the influencer demo, the Lode Golem was referred to as the "Mineral Golem" in battle, a direct translation of its Japanese name.
